Hi,
My name is Nathan Lovern. I got my first Wing this week. Interstate model. I got it for $1000. Owner said stator was bad. It is not getting ANY volts from the 3 yellow wires. I got stator ordered. Ive done bike work before so pulling the engine wont be to hard. (I hope)
Owner said it wouldn't run long just on battery. I know from experience that most things will run long time. I rode the wing this morning down driveway and back to yard,it started sputtering some,i hooked charger to it and was gonna let it run long enough for the thermostat to open up to make sure all that worked,and after a minute it died. wouldn't start back. no spark at all.
I suspect it will once its cooled down.
What would cause this? Im thinking coil pick up up front or the coils. It could only be those 2 things.
Owner said he had pickup put on and new water pump but I can hear a noise that sounds like a water pump going bad. Has that sound like bearings are dry in pump. heard that noise before in old car pumps going bad.
So far that's all the surprises ive found. hope its all of them.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Nathan Lovern,Va
